Quilt vs. Art

This is a giant piece of art made from found objects – large found objects – that is displayed at the American Gallery of Art. It is by Louise Nevelson and is described as an assemblage of found objects.

As you can see from the detail, this piece is about texture. I say that because the color is very flat and the artist does not use color to move your eye around the piece.

Above is a quilt we saw at APNQ, which reminded me of the art above. I don’t know if the quilt artist was informed or inspired by the piece above, but they are definitely related.
